I can't seem to find any specific feedback on how effective the Gen 3 Baffles and moderators are on the latest Vulcans, especially the Tactic which has a little more baffle length than the bullpup version.

I've read that the older designs were sub-par and MUCH louder when compared to what might be considered 'normal' in a .25 PCP. How does a Vulcan .25 with new Gen 3 moderator tech compare to some other standard guns like Cricket, FX, RAW, etc. in the loudness dept?

 
The Vulcan Tactic I have is still very loud. Granted I did not do any of the fancy hole drilling, and TGAG modifications that some did. On its own it is too loud, and not backyard friendly. I have put on a JKHAN moderator that I made 3 chambered baffles in myself and that helped it a ton. I also have a new Weihrauch .25 LDC, and that is wicked quiet. I will likely go for one of the new carbon moderators that Tony at Talon tunes now has for this set up.

I have a 2.5 Gen Vulcan BP .25. which means that it has the 2nd Gen baffles and TopGunAirgun also drilled some ports between the baffles. No micro-holes drilled in the shroud itself. I used an iPhone app called "Decibel 10th" which is not calibrated, but can be used to compare sounds measured from the same distance, same environment. So the results can only be used to compare two different sounds not the determine the actual loudness in accurate decibels. Iphone was approx. 1 meter from gun's barrel at 90 degrees.
